She landed several TV, film, and musical theater roles as well as her first lead in an animated series as the title role of "Hello Kitty." After a short run at Toronto's Second City theater company, she moved to Los Angeles with an extensive resume that included her own sit-com and well over 20 animated series. Upon arriving in Hollywood, she quickly made her mark in several TV and Film projects, such as "Party of Five," "National Lampoon's Senior Trip," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and more. She has an iconic voice-over career, including roles such as Bubbles in "The Powerpuff Girls," Timmy Turner in "The Fairly OddParents," Dil Pickles in "Rugrats," Raven in "Teen Titans," "Batgirl," "Family Guy," "Drawn Together," "Ben 10," Melody in "The Little Mermaid 2," "Spirited Away," etc. She is Miss Collins on Nickelodeon's "Big Time Rush" and the current voice of "Harley Quinn."

She appeared in the Hallmark Christmas movie, "A Very Merry Toy Store."

She lives in Los Angeles. From between 2000 and 2019 she was married to former actor and real estate agent Craig Strong.

- Blonde hair and buxom figure
- Has stated in interviews that she would like to star in more live action productions, but is constantly preoccupied with voiceover work and thus simply cannot find the time.
- Lived with Neve Campbell, before both actresses made it big.
- Out of all of the characters she has portrayed, her roles as "Melody" in The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea (2000) and "Toot Braunstein" in Drawn Together (2004) are her all-time favorites.
- Known as the voice of many cartoon characters, such as "Timmy Turner" of The Fairly OddParents (2001), "Bubbles" of The Powerpuff Girls (1998) and "Dil Pickles" on Rugrats (1991) and All Grown Up! (2003).
- Tara deeply loved working on Drawn Together (2004), considering it fun for the most part because it was such a departure from the family-friendly productions she was used to working on at the time. While generally tolerant of the show's Jewish humor, she did have a few problems when it came to a few jokes about writer Anne Frank, a Jewish victim of the Holocaust.
- [Interview in "Working Mother" Magazine, July/August 2004]: My son is now old enough to respond to my work. To me, that's what it's all about.
- Sometimes a role might be difficult on my throat.
- Some shows, like PPG, tape in a group session, which is always more fun because you can play off each other.
- Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
- In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic.
